I didn't know porn stars made up middle names, too. Anyway, I might spend an hour flipping through the good parts in the store sometime, but I'm not up for spending $23. Just wondering if anyone here checked it out. [Link] |

| skronker Notable Legendary Icon Scopophiliac 9780 Posts 9/02 | Posted - Jul 10 2003 : 12:24PM I flipped through the book. Looks pretty thin. I'm not sure what I expected but I was disappointed enough to not consider buying it. I think it's great she was able to move on with her life and find some success -- and wish I hadn't given away my dubbed copy of "The Grafenberg Spot," where she does a RonK-approved scene with Harry Reems and Rick Savage that, at the time, sent my head spinning.

| ObiBong Senior Member 1162 Posts 12/02 | Posted - Jul 14 2003 : 3:07AM What's the opposite of "worthwhile"? Apparently she really did write this herself, without the help of a pro ghostwriter, and it kind of shows. And as has been noted, the porn days go by in a flash, and there's no insider dish-type stuff. Jerry Butler's book was much better in this regard. I suppose her point is that porn was a brief part of her life, even if it was the most significant one. As far as that goes, her account of her childhood and the forces that swept her into the mess she got into is believable to me. It's not a pretty story, but you knew that: obviously something went drastically wrong with her life, whether her version is exactly correct or not. On that mark... why is Jim South referred to as "Tim North"? If it's her biography and it's true, is there any legal peril in naming names? Perhaps there is, but things like that undermine your confidence in the narrative. And an anecdote about having sex with Tom Byron but not knowing it was being filmed is ludicrous. Still, if people were afraid that it'd be virulently anti-porn, I didn't get that vibe, really. But the bottom line is, if you were thinking about picking this up, buy a DVD instead. Next waste of time on the agenda: Christy Canyon's book. [Link] |
